A four-star review given by Houston Chronicle food critic Alison Cook is a rarity in and of itself. Once you realize her latest top-rated restaurant is a casual barbecue joint out in Pearland, then you really know something special is cooking out in the 'burbs.

Killen's Barbecue, located at 3613 E. Broadway in Pearland, wowed Houston Chronicle food critic Alison Cook. From the mellow smoke flavors of the main dishes (which don't necessarily need sauce, mind you) to the surprisingly "graceful" desserts, find out why this barbecue joint can hold its own on a national level.
